Hoffman is confusing to me, to me he's such a no brainer. These writers annoy the crap out of me. They're so sanctimonious talking about PEDs and I don't think any of them played. I like Verducci until he talks about his vote

Collecting: Phil Bickford, Brandon Wood (still), Yankees and Rockies

Please note: Card collecting is my hobby, not my life. I don't take it that serious and like to keep it fun.

I'm happy for all three of those guys. Well earned congrats to them.
I can't stand the voting, it will never be perfect but what put raines over the top this year!?!? It's been awhile since he swiped a base. Pretty upset about Hoffman and vladdy, they should have made it.
I look at the ballot and the steroid era really mucks it up but they get to vote 10 in, Tim Raines should not have waited this long, it's not like they were electing 10 guys a year until now. And for the ~26% that didn't vote for hoffman, why not? What are we waiting for? His fastball/changeup combo won't improve before next January, when he will likely get in.
I have to stop or my rant will become uncontrollable.
